Challenger 650 aircraft: A true intercontinental aircraft with a range of 4,000 NM (7,408 km) that can connect Geneva with Mumbai*. The Challenger 650 jet builds on the solid reputation of the Challenger 605 aircraft and will feature the newly-evolved GE engines, offering shorter take-off distance, extra payload capacity or improved range capabilities out of challenging airports.

It can travel 6,000 NM (11,112 km) at M 0.85 with up to eight passengers.
